Skyrim

Scoped Bows Troubleshooting
This is an Extension to the "Compatibility and Issues" section in the description. I highly recommend to read the description.


Crashes:

When starting the game (right after the bethesda logo):
Crashes like that happen if you are missing a masterfile. This happens either after installing a mod that depends on official DLC's or other mods that you don't have or if you messed up your loadorder (masterfiles always need to be above the mods depending on them! ).
Fix: Follow the instructions in this video: Skyrim Crash on Startup FIX. Use Loot to optimize your loadorder.

When scrolling through in-game inventories:
In most cases crashes like that are performance related. If your pc is capably to run vanilla skyrim on ultra settings you shouldn't have any problems using this mod.

Fix: Make sure you have a decent gaming rig and use the latest version of scoped bows.



Invisible Bows:

If the bows are invisible that means the mod is not correctly installed. To be precise: The game loads the .esp but fails to load the meshes and textures of the bows because they are either misplaced (inside the wrong folders) or completely missing.

Fix: Make sure Scoped Bows is correctly installed. (Use a mod manager to install Scoped Bows! )



Displaced Sights:

The position of the Sights featured in Scoped Bows is carefully tweaked to work with vanilla animations and skeleton. The sights are supposed to point exactly into the center of the screen.
Mods that change the way your character holds the bow in first person mode (first person skeleton/ first person animations), or mods that change the position of the first person camera will most lkely interfere with the alignment of the sights. The sights would no longer appear in the center of your screen, aka: You would no longer look trough the sights when aming which for obvious reasons would make them useless.

Fix: Uninstall conflicting mods.



Small Sights:

The sights are designed to work with the default Field Of View value. The higher the value the smaller (further away) the sights appear!

Fix: Play with the default FOV value.
Or, if you insist to increase it, find the compromise that works best for you. Also don't forget to get the eagle eye perk ingame. It gives you zoom which also gets you closer behind the scope when zooming.
